Dragon Monarch System

Chapter 255 - I Want Blood

Leo Gallagherʼs Pov____

Sitting in a dark room, a handsome young man with light blue hair was sitting on a bed with his eyes closed. The 15-year-old boy was sitting in a lotus position. He was currently cultivating. Each time he breathe, along with oxygen, he also inhaled mana that is present in the air. The air that was filled with mana reached his lungs. Which was then defused into the bloodstream and went to the heart.

The heart then separated the mana and stored it inside the heart. Another part of his heart circulated mana throughout his entire body using blood. The mana strengthened each cell of his body.

The young manʼs name was Leo Gallagher. Leo was a huge secret that no one other than his little sister knew. He has a dark past. And a bright future. His dark past completely changed his personality and his entire life. After the things that he experienced, Leo long would have lost himself in darkness if not for the last remaining source of light that prevented his heart from becoming cold. The only source of light in Leoʼs life was his own little sister.

Leo Gallagher and his little sister, Claraʼs entire lives have changed after both of them met Aditya on that fateful night. Leo was deeply impressed by Adityaʼs strength. Because of that man, their lives became a thousand times better. They wonʼt have to sleep on the streets anymore. They wonʼt have to beg for food anymore. They wonʼt have to suffer anymore. Because of him, Leo and Clara were able to become strong.

Leo was Adityaʼs Dragonian. Leo was very talented. In fact, he was in cultivation he was even more talented than Julia and Alicia. Aditya would even dare say that Leo is the most talented cultivator throughout the entire Istarin Empire.

Right now, Leo was trying to break into Peak 3rd-order. For the last two and half months he has been cultivating in his rooms without going out. The only time that he ever stopped cultivating was when his sister called him to have food with her. To Leo strength was everything. Due to the unfortunate event that changed his life, he was taught this valuable life lesson at a very early stage of his life.

He has been cultivating day and night without stopping. Seeing Leo so focused on cultivation, Aditya didnʼt send Leo on any missions.

Huff! Huff! Huff! huff!

Leo was panting. Sweat rolled down from his forehead. His heart was beating wildly. He was tightly clenching his fists. His expression was changing every second. One second he would look very happy, then another second he would look shocked, and the next second he would look very sad, and he looked very angry. He was biting his so hard that blood started coming out.

ʼIf things go on like this then I can never cultivate in peace. I think itʼs time to take revenge.ʼ Leo opened his eyes. He was feeling very frustrated over the fact that he didnʼt manage to break through.

It all started last week. Each time Leo closed his eyes to cultivate, he would see the things which was the source of his suffering and his pain. With each passing day, this kept becoming worse and worse.

Scene change____

On the other side of the Dragon Palace, Aditya was talking with Alicia regarding the distribution of glass on various continents. The goddess of wealth was more than happy to act as the distributor. Using glass, not only the goddess can increase her influence in other continents, but she can also expand her business and earn more money.

”I will help you with the distribution. I will make sure that your glass products are available in every city in Westnia, Dying Isle, and on other continents. But I want 20% of the total profit.” Not even an entire second had passed, Aditya agreed.

”Alright.”

Seeing Aditya agreeing so easily and so quickly, Alicia wondered if he was mad at her. ”Aditya, are you mad at me?” Oftentimes, the goddess has seen relationships crumbling because of money, and profit. Alicia wondered if Aditya was disappointed in her for taking 20% of the profit.

Despite their relationship, Alicia still paid taxes and everything to Aditya. Alicia also does the same with the white lotus guild. Each year, Alicia pays a huge sum of money to the Ethereal Empire as taxes.

”Why would I be mad at you?” Aditya asked back with a smile.

”Because I am asking for 20% of the profit.” Contrary to her expectations, Aditya shook his head with a smile.

”Princess, I really donʼt care about money. I have more than enough money to run this Empire. Because of you, I can increase my profits. With you, I wonʼt have to worry about anything. If I had approached some other merchant, then they would have asked for a higher profit percentage.” Alicia also nodded her head. She would have asked for a higher profit percentage if it wasnʼt for Aditya.

”I am totally alright with you taking 20% of the profit. Besides, the cost of making glass is very cheap. Even with 80% profit, at the end of the day, I would still have a huge amount of money.” Besides, Aditya canʼt overlook the fact of how much the Seekers of Impurity guild has helped the Istarin Empire develop at its early stages. Currently, the Seekers of Impurity guild is the biggest taxpayer in the Istarin empire and the number will only keep increasing. He canʼt also forget the help she has given him using her connections. Even if Alicia had asked for 30% or even 40%, Aditya would have agreed.

Hearing Adityaʼs answer, Alicia felt very relieved and felt the weight on her shoulders has been lifted. Alicia would take asked for a lower profit percentage but given that she was going to distribute glass on 6 continents, the profit earned has been multiplied by many times. More than half of 20% would be used to pay the salaries of her employees who would work and will be solely responsible for expanding the glass market.

”By the way, are you sure that you can keep the method of producing glass a secret?” Alicia was planning on making glass their only exclusive product. By doing that, she would be able to have a monopoly over the glass.

”Donʼt worry, the people responsible for making glass are all my Dragonians. Even if the whole world changes, the dragonians can never betray the Dragon Monarch.” Aditya replied with a confident smirk.

”By Dragon Monarch, you meant yourself?” Alicia couldnʼt help but ask.

”As the only Dragon in history to have Divine Crimson Storm Dragon Bloodline, I am the only Dragon Monarch in this worldʼs history” Aditya replied with a proud look. He even slightly raised his chest.

”You know, when I hear the words Dragon monarch, I imagine that person to be someone who is the strongest being on the Planet. I imagine the Dragon Monarch to be very serious, cold, ruthless, and very calculating.”

”Youʼre just describing me.”

”But are you the strongest being on this planet?”

”I will achieve that in a few more years.”

”Dream on. I understand that your cultivation speed is extremely fast. But reaching Peak 7th-order is hard as reaching the end of the universe.” Alicia has never heard of anyone managing to reach the 7th order in a few years. Being able to do something like this would be the same as saying that the world is flat and the universe is tiny as an island. Neither of the sentences makes any sense to Alicia.

Knock! Knock!

Aditya and Alicia both sensed Leoʼs presence behind the door. ”You can come in.”

Just as Leo grabbed the door knob and began to open the door, Aditya and Alicia were surprised to sense the great amount of killing intent leaking out of his body. As the door slowly opened, Aditya was able to Leoʼs face. Today, for some unknown reason, his face, especially his eyes looked extra. His eyes were the same as the eyes of a dead fish. Those blue eyes of his held no emotions in them.

He was truly a monster who was ready to do anything. It would be hard to believe that a 15-year-old boy has those dead fish eyes. It only makes Alicia and Aditya wonder what did he even experience.

Tap! Tap!

The sound of his footsteps was heard. He stood 10 meters away from Aditya. Directly staring at the Dragon King, his dragonian expressed his desire or rather his biggest wish.

”My King, I want your help. I want blood. I want to forget my past but to do that I must soak my arms in warm deep red blood.” Those words were more than enough for both of them to understand what would happen next.
